I used to make the inside longer, as you've mentioned, but I felt that it would be even less bulky with the alignment of the serged edge and the stitching in the ditch.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-60212331713645579142014-06-26T21:14:55.577-04:002014-06-26T21:14:55.577-04:00Thanks!

I very rarely make things with a waistband - my waist changes size so much throughout the day (up to 4 inches if things are bad!) that stretchy waists are a must for me.<br />My TNT fitted skirt is the Magic Pencil Skirt. My TNT flared skirt is an OOP New Look 6461 - it's 8 gores, faced waist (I just make a casing and add elastic), with or without godets, and 2 different lengths - knee length or mid calf. birdmommynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-23158451934187821582014-06-23T16:40:33.154-04:002014-06-23T16:40:33.154-04:00Love the picture of you wearing your skirt, it'...Love the picture of you wearing your skirt, it's gorgeous. I have made a similar waistband - overlocked on the inside edge - but longer on inside so that it hangs down into the skirt by 1/4". I don't turn it under to avoid bulk, as you mentioned .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-18568607458966381562014-06-23T11:55:54.524-04:002014-06-23T11:55:54.524-04:00Argh!

I'm going to use your method of not hiding the serged edge from now on--I always end up with bulky waistbands and then struggle to get snaps hammered in or whatever.<br /><br />Anyway, I love the modeled view, I hope you are wearing some red heels, just because. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-72735981589138072102014-06-23T10:06:02.488-04:002014-06-23T10:06:02.488-04:00And I thought I invented the technique of the futu...And I thought I invented the technique of the future! :-)K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-34336411193622197642014-06-23T10:05:24.777-04:002014-06-23T10:05:24.777-04:00Why thank you Evie!Why thank you Evie!K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-38489805156400672212014-06-23T08:45:01.875-04:002014-06-23T08:45:01.875-04:00this is cute! love the skirt. i have used that wai...this is cute! love the skirt. i have used that waistband technique before, in fact i just made a skirt yesterday and did this very thing! great minds and all... ;-)lisa g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09891757600316953288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-58203512308498350442014-06-23T04:47:35.733-04:002014-06-23T04:47:35.733-04:00Fab skirt!

After you stitch in the ditch? Over the interior serged seam?K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-9386837380729751852014-06-22T14:38:49.348-04:002014-06-22T14:38:49.348-04:00I'm really glad I'm not the only one.

I usually serge like you did, although I keep telling myself I'll make the insides even prettier by applying a contrasting bias binding. But when the time comes, I'm always too lazy and I just serge!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-14900676032896604252014-06-22T10:14:26.922-04:002014-06-22T10:14:26.922-04:00I'll be coming back to this post, because I *a...I'll be coming back to this post, because I *always* have trouble figuring out waistbands!
